I love foodporn so much sometimes I can’t resist making m’semmen too. The problem is it gets everywhere can be a bit salty for some people

Seriously though that looks like an amazing feast

I feel like this sounds like a great idea until you end up with a bunch of unregulated militias run by the George Zimmermans of the world in every red state with a government who doesn’t give a shit, but I’d absolutely love to be proven wrong

“The pilots are crashing the plane because they’re too old… so we should replace them with pilots who have never flown a plane before but have really good hand eye coordination and who did well at PE class”… no bro we should just find some pilots who know how to fly a plane but aren’t fucking ancient rather than over correct to a worse position

Ah yes because we live in a post-consequences-for-assholes world apparently

I definitely didn’t intend to imply or accuse you of being astroturfey or anything else for that matter and I’m truly sorry it came off that way. It seems I should be much more careful in my wording. I did a bad job of paraphrasing something I heard about how the original Reddit accounts and lack of traditional organizers are a bit suspicious.

At the end of the day I think we’re all scared and trying to navigate a complex media ecosystem and it’s easy to make mistakes.

I genuinely have heard concerns from friends and was trying to check their veracity. It seems from what I’ve heard here that they are bogus and I’m grateful to the commenters who have pointed that out.

I added an edit to my original comment to try to make this clearer to anyone else who’s been fed the same misinformation as me and I’ll definitely share that with my community.

Ugh I hope not, if so it’s worked on at least a few people in my community and I apologize for helping it propagate with my comment here

I definitely will ask, that’s what I was trying to do with my original comment. It seems like it’s not a widely shared concern which I’m very glad to see.

I definitely don’t mean to discourage attendance or anything like that, I totally agree with you that as long as people are cautious about PII, etc. there shouldn’t be more risk here than at any other protest
